The amazing subtlety of Andrew’s dreams
The first of my expected “sugar” dreams happened last night, in which, in my dream, I break the no-sugar diet I have set for myself. I fully expect this to be a nightly occurrance. Last nights dreams were unusual, in that they also had the “self-doubt” dream of being unprepared for something at work, *and* the “can’t find a toilet” dream of needing to take a pee. And the aforementioned sugar dream. My dreams suck.
Preparation
I’m getting stuff together for the 24 hour film. I decided that it’s not against the spirit of the rules to have my equipment in a ready state before the film-making, so I’m making space on the harddrive and pre-recording my DV tapes with blackness (to get the embedded timecode right). Tonight I’ll buy snacks and possibly a spare blow-up mattress, and install Final Cut Pro on the laptop computer so that we have two editing stations if we decide to make two short films. All good.
Bengal Boogie
I realise I haven’t finished writing this up, but it still remains absolutely fresh in my mind. It’ll happen. As a coda, Paul passed on the money that I’d been promised for the shoot, which was rather unexpected and delightful. I had kinda written that one off.
